This is a custom portrait I've been working on, and I'm looking for some comments, critiques, etc. to get it completely Baldurized. So any suggestions would be great! If anyone wants to see a bigger version, I can get it up.

looks like a photo cut out and pasted onto a gradient background.
It won't match the style of the BG or BG2 portraits from the game.
but - it's better than my first attempt.

When it's bigger it looks more like a painting, but when resized it looks like a photo again. Any ideas on how to keep that from happening?

Try working on it at the size it needs to be. A lot of folks think you need larger source photos, but I've found that to be inaccurate for BG portraits.When it's bigger it looks more like a painting, but when resized it looks like a photo again. Any ideas on how to keep that from happening?
You might also check out the art tutorials, particularly those that relate to "baldurisation."
